The Red Thread

Chapter 2

Marian Joy's POV 

Akala ko namamalik mata lang ako nung makita ko yung red thread papasok sa Mint University. I think there's something odd with this red thread and it didn't make any sense at all. Pumasok ako sa Mint University at sinundan kung saan patungo yung red thread.

I decided to cut my first subject since late naman na ako, wala namang bago lagi naman akong late. Maaga pa ako sa second subject kaya susundan ko muna yung red thread.

Habang sinusundan ko yung red thread, feeling ko lumalayo din ito pero may certain direction ito kung saan pupunta.

Well, I still have 45 minutes bago mag-start yung second subject kaya kailangan kong mahanap kung ano yung hangganan nitong thread na 'to.

Hindi ko talaga alam kung saan yung hangganan nung thread pero sinusundan ko lang 'to. Lumakad ako pa-straight kung saan maraming tao at doon din naman yung direksyon nung red thread na yun.

"Sa sobrang dami ng students will I be able to find where it led?" Tanong ko sa sarili ko.

Pag tingin ko sa isang group of guys. I saw someone rather a guy who has a red thread attached to his right pinky.

"That red thread was attached in my left pinky," I muttered.

Agad ko syang pinuntahan.

"Excuse me," sabi ko.

"Do you know happen to know this red thread? This one oh," sabi ko while showing my left pinky.

The guy looked surprised at my question as well as the guys beside him. They looked at me like I was some short of crazy woman. Bigla naman akong nginitian nung guy.

Shocks! It felt weird like I was captivated by his smile and eyes. I just shrugged mentally.

"Sorry. I don't know what you're talking about," sabi nung guy with a red thread in his right pinky.

"Wow English yun ah pare ah," sabi nung kasama nya.

"English yung tanong nya eh," sabi ni guy with red thread on his right pinky.

"Kilala mo ba yan?" Tanong nung isa niyang kasama na gwapo din. I admit they are all good looking.

"Hindi eh," sabi ni guy with red thread on his right pinky.

"Kilala ko yan, sya si Marian Joy Tejada yung next Maisie Jei Tan nag-rank 1 yan sa exam nung whole second year nung mid-April," sabi nung kasama nya.

"Sya pala yung naka-beat sayo," sabi nung isa pa nyang kasama.

"Yeah. By 1 point," sabi ni guy with red thread on his right pinky.

"Uhhm? I can understand that you are talking about me," sabi ko.

"Sorry pero kilala mo ba ako?" Tanong ni guy with red thread.

"Uhhm- I don't know you, but you probably know since I beat you in rank 1," sabi ko.

"You are the only one who can help me. So please," pag mamakaawa ko.

"Alam mo ba 'to? This red thread? Nakikita mo ba 'to?" Tanong ko.

Again, they were staring at me like I was some sort of crazy woman.

"Wala talaga kaming makita," sabi ni red thread guy.

I was surprised sa sagot nya. Bakit hindi nya makita eh sa kanya nakakabit yung dulo ng red thread ko.

"Seryoso ka? Wala ka talagang nakikita?" Tanong ko.

"Wala nga," sabi ni red thread guy.

"Mayroon ba akong dapat makita?" Tanong ni red thread guy.
